Chapter 362: Night Attack on the East Gate
"Yuan Benchu Alliance Master personally enlightened!"
The secret letter handed over by the rider really had Yuan Shao's name on it, and Yang Rui took it and opened the secret letter.
"The original alliance leader: Dong Thief Ke is increasing his troops in the Tiger Prison, at that time Dong Thief and Lu Bu will be in person, at the beginning, we should pay attention to most of the troops at the East City Gate of Luoyang are still in our secret control, but there is progress in the Tiger Prison, when the fire is raised outside the East City Gate, the soldiers of the East City Gate of the East City will risk death at any time to cooperate with Deyu himself!"
Yang Rui only skimmed the contents of the letter, and knew that what the cavalry general said was true, and immediately withdrew a spear. He really didn't expect that this rider would be the bright color of the opposing camp, and his real identity would be from the anti-Dong Alliance camp!
Yang Rui has already learned the content of the secret letter, but Yang Rui, the person "Deyu", can't correspond to who it is for a while. Judging from the content of the letter, "Deyu" should be Yuan Shao's internal response in the Luoyang Imperial City, and he can control most of the troops at the east gate of Luoyang, which is obviously not a simple role!
The east gate of Luoyang was once garrisoned by Yang Rui, so it is relatively familiar, and now Deyu's secret letter happened to fall into the hands of Yang Rui, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity from God, Yang Rui wants to enter the Luoyang Imperial City to rescue Liu Wei's mother and son, and even have more gains, it is likely to rely on Deyu's internal response.
"Please return to the person in charge, I am a subordinate general of Lord Yuan Shao, and now I have obtained it and will immediately transfer it to Lord Yuan Shao! It is believed that the leader of Yuan Shao's alliance will take action by the guò waterway in the near future, and Wangru and others will pay attention to it at any time. ”
After thinking for a while, Yang Rui pretended to be Yuan Shao's general and said to the horseman. The reason why he didn't use his own name. Yang Rui was worried that the other party only bought Yuan Shao's account, and after reporting his identity, he might mess things up!
"I should reply in detail!"
The cavalry saw Yang Rui collect his spear. I was also relieved in my heart, and replied very respectfully. At present, Yang Rui is already the strength of a super-level general, and the cavalry general is only an intermediate general, so he naturally does not dare to disobey in front of Yang Rui.
After Yang Rui and the cavalry separated, he collected the secret letter to Yuan Shao and returned to Juling Villa. As for the secret letter Yang Rui will definitely not be handed over to Yuan Shao, it has been clearly stated in the letter, as long as Yuan Shao's troops arrive near the Luoyang Imperial City and raise the fire. The alliance camp troops in the east gate of Luoyang City will fully cooperate to meet the siege soldiers.
Therefore, what Yang Rui needs to do is to wait, once Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu leave the Luoyang Imperial City, Yang Rui can wait for the opportunity to attack Luoyang from the East City Gate, and then rescue the Young Emperor Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager He from the palace as quickly as possible.
In the past two days, because Yang Rui had to pay attention to Dong Zhuo's movements at all times, he had not been able to withdraw time to transfer troops to Kanto again. At this time, if you want to pull some troops over, it is already too late, that is to say, when Yang Rui finally acts, he can only rely on the existing more than 30,000 fifth-order soldiers in his hands, these forces are definitely far from the strength of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, and there is still a difference between success and failure.
However, being able to obtain Yuan Shao's secret letter is already a great opportunity. Yang Rui naturally won't let go of this opportunity lightly, and he must give it a go when the time comes.
The time left for Yang Rui to wait was not long, as stated in the secret letter from "Deyu" to Yuan Shao, early the next morning, Yang Rui's fifth-order thief leader reported the news that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's army had gone to the Tiger Prison Pass. Yang Rui decided to take action that night!
In the case of a large-scale march, it will take about a day and night to go from the Luoyang Imperial City to the Tiger Prison Pass. It is also more appropriate for Yang Rui to start in the middle of Dong Zhuo and Lu Buyu's arrival at the Tiger Prison Pass, and the most important thing is that he can use the cover of night to form a surprise attack on the soldiers guarding the city.
In one day's time, Yang Rui let Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, Wu Anguo and others, as well as all the soldiers and soldiers of the subordinates, have enough spirits, and prepare a banner with the word "Yuan", in addition to firewood and grass to carry with them for arson! Until midnight, Yang Rui led all his troops and walked along the eastern side of Beibi Mountain to more than ten miles outside the east gate of Luoyang City.
Along the way, Yang Rui used the Dao Wind Flying Carpet at the forefront, leading a group of Rank 5 thief leaders to clear the patrol forces of Dong Zhuo's camp. Because the path that Yang Rui chose to march was originally relatively remote, and he specially chose a location that was far away from the territory of the city, village and town, and the more than 4o bandit leaders were barely enough.
"Set fire!"
By the time all the troops arrived at 1o miles outside the east gate of Luoyang City, the forces of Dong Zhuo's camp patrolling and walking back and forth were already relatively dense, and Yang Rui decisively ordered the soldiers to set fire.
Since each soldier had prepared some firewood and grass to carry with them in advance, and it was the time when the grass withered in the spring, after Yang Rui gave the order to set fire, a large area of flames had already burned quickly, and the situation here could be seen from a long distance.
Yuan Shao in the east gate of Luoyang City, since the agreement to raise the fire as the number, has always been placed soldiers to pay attention to the situation outside the city, at this time outside the east gate 1o miles of the position suddenly appeared a large area of fire, has long attracted the attention of the soldiers placed on the east gate tower, and the soldiers soon reported the situation outside the city, about a cup of tea, the principal has been given relevant news.
The person who wrote to Yuan Shao before was actually the captain Wu Qiong, and after Wu Qiong got the news, he sent someone to convey the news to Zhou Yu and others in the service, and he went directly to the gate tower of the East City Gate after he was strong, and while looking at the fire in the distance, he gathered his own henchmen to come.
As Wu Qiong said in the secret letter, he had a lot of arrangements at the East City Gate, and in a short period of time, Wu Qiong gathered a lot of people to come over, which dealt with the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp in the East City Gate.
The matter was not completely grasped, and after the real start of the operation, Wu Qiong now had to deal with Dong Zhuo's guards in the East City Gate Tower much more difficult than he had imagined!
Many of Dong Zhuo's soldiers in the headquarters are experienced in a hundred battles, at this time, the east city gate and the east city wall are more than Dong Zhuo's soldiers, although the number of soldiers gathered by Wu Qiong is more than that of the other party, and it is still in the case of having a heart or not, but after the first move, he still fell behind!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"There are traitors"
“”
Yang Rui knew that Neiying had already started to move, so he led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the east gate of Luoyang City, but Wu Qiong was not able to open the city gate at the first time!
At this time, Wu Qiong was also very anxious, including himself, he was entangled by a general among Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and he couldn't get out for a while, and his subordinates were becoming more and more disadvantaged in the battle, not to mention controlling the east city gate, it was very difficult to protect himself!
And if it continues like this, the other city gates and the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp in the city will also soon appear abnormal, and when these soldiers rush to help, Wu Qiong and his subordinates will finally be cleaned up.
When Wu Qiong was so anxious, he saw that many soldiers had rushed up on the ramp inside the city gate, Wu Qiong was immediately taken aback, thinking that other Dong Zhuo's subordinates had come to help, and when he figured out that the person who came was Zhou Yu and his subordinates, Wu Qiong was secretly relieved.
The arrival of Zhou Yu immediately leveled the situation on the East City Gate, and most importantly, Zhou Yu opened the gate of the East City Gate before rushing to the City Gate Tower, which provided convenience for Yang Rui, who had already rushed to the city gate.
The two sides were already fighting fiercely on the city gate tower, and both sides were taking care of themselves, so when Yang Rui led the crowd to approach the city gate, the long-range archers of Dong Zhuo's camp on the city gate tower and the city wall just shot some feather arrows sparsely, basically causing no damage.
Yang Rui led his troops to break into the city gate, and immediately ordered the people to rush up along the city gate and four or five ramps of the nearby city wall. These soldiers were led by Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo, and Zhang Ning and Chen Lin followed Yang Rui all the way, so the impact of each force was quite strong.
If it was said that Dong Zhuo's camp had struggled to fight before, but the two sides were still in a state of equilibrium, the arrival of Yang Rui and others was like a huge weight, which made the balance of power between the two sides immediately change fundamentally, and Dong Zhuo's defenders on the east city gate had shown a trend of complete collapse.
This kind of collapse is still spreading to the city walls on both sides, the 5th order iron guard guards were originally very suitable for the offensive and defensive battles of the city, and now under the leadership and skill bonuses of several powerful generals, they are even more like a fish in water, and the killing is very sharp, the entire east city gate and the city walls on both sides are being eaten away by Yang Rui's people, and Yuan Shao's banner has been planted in the east city gatehouse.
After the situation at the East City Gate became clear, Yang Rui left Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 iron guards to garrison the East City Gate, and cooperated with Zhou Yu to temporarily resist the defenders of Dong Zhuo's camp who came to support on the city walls on both sides, while Yang Rui himself took Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo, Chen Lin and all the remaining subordinates, under the guidance of Wu Qiong, to go straight to the East Gate of Luoyang Inner City.
Since Yang Rui didn't know whether he could enter the inner city along the way, leaving Zhang Liao was also to keep a back road. Zhang Liao's "Destroying Blade Surprise Attack" skill, after adding 10,000 iron guards, is very strong in combat effectiveness, and it should not be too difficult to protect the East City Gate in a short period of time.
Although Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu took away a lot of troops before, the current defenders of Dong Zhuo's camp in Luoyang City are actually as many as four or five hundred thousand, but the area of Luoyang City is already large, and it is late at night, and it is difficult for the other party to gather quickly for a while!
